Irrevocable Joy. Irrevocably joyful. It Has been stuck in my head since yesterday. I don't think I've ever heard it said. I don't think I've ever heard the words paired together before. But they seem like soul mates. I don't know If it even makes sense to anyone but me.
Irrevocable Joy
I google defined both "Irrevocable" and "Joy" trying to see if they really could go together and this is what I found.
Irrevocable- incapable of being retracted or revoked (wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
Joy- the emotion of great happiness
I think joy is more than that. And that is why I think they belong together.
I think joy is a state of mind. a decision. a gift.
I think it's independent of the circumstances and situation.
I think Joy comes from God.
And that's what I choose to be.
Irrevocably joyful.
When Googling joy, I found this thing that some person had written. Defining what she believes Christian Joy to be. It's really cool. I don't know who wrote it... so I hope they don't mind me stealing it!
"Joy when I wake up in the Morning and look forward to another day, just knowing that my life as I know it now, may end... but eternity is stretching out in front of me. I no longer fear death...
Joy at night, because I know that if I should die before I wake... God would indeed take my soul to be with him.
Joy in just knowing that I found the truth... I know that I know the God of all Heaven and Earth and he knows me...
Don't gamble on life
With all your luck and your skills
Cause ya can't play the cards
Ole man death's gonna deal
The bible has said
Who the loser's gonna be
There's only two winning hands
And they were nailed to a tree."
I guess knowing that someone cared that much, Knowing that I'm saved. Knowing that I have a hope and a future and a purpose. And this gives me Irrevocable Joy.
